That’s good. Each time has it’s own challenges, but it sounds like you made the right choice with finding support and weighing your options. Congrats on making it through 3!

I had my job and routine and own home, but my friends didn’t really understand what it was like and since it was my first experience as a military girlfriend, it was hard on me. The next deployment, I had a job where he was stationed and had a group of women in the same boat. It was supportive and fun. But the next, we had a baby and I was trying to figure out parenting, working, and being a temporarily single parent hours away from the closest relative. That was harder still, but I had a good job that I enjoyed which I wasn’t willing to give up.
